cache¶
View and manage Feluda’s license cache to optimize scans and stay under rate limits.
Overview¶
Feluda caches GitHub license responses under .feluda/cache/github_licenses.json to stay under rate limits and speed up repeated scans.
View Cache Status¶
Inspect cache statistics like size and freshness.
feluda cache
Feluda prints the cache location, the number of entries, and whether the cache is still valid.
Output includes:
Cache file location
Number of cached entries
Cache age and validity status
Last update timestamp
Clear the Cache¶
Remove stale or corrupted cache data.
feluda cache --clear
Feluda deletes the cache file so the next scan starts fresh with remote data.
Options:

Cache Behavior¶
Tip
Cache files older than 30 days refresh automatically, but explicit clears help when switching GitHub identities.
When to clear the cache:
After changing GitHub tokens or identities
When license data seems stale or incorrect
After upgrading Feluda to a new version
When debugging unexpected license detection results
Cache location:
The cache is stored at .feluda/cache/github_licenses.json relative to the scanned project directory.
